SCAM ALERT - this business is a absolutely criminal. They provide a price over the phone that seems reasonable, then increase the cost and demand payment. Buyer beware.
WORST CLEANING DONE - TOTAL RIP OFF. Melbourne carpet cleaning - zero stars. CARPET - STAINS WERE THERE, CAPRET NOT CLEANED AT ALL. SHOWER - DID NOT CLEANED - SCUM MARKS ALL OVER THE GLASS - GROT NOT CLEANED. WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. I was promised that someone will call me back but its been nearly two months now.
I am not rating them because there is not a minus score. Melbourne carpet cleaning would have to be the worst company I have dealt with. They should be closed down. DON'T USE MELBOURNE CARPET CLEANING. My Daughter let the Indian into home as I was out. In the meantime my grandaughter took very sick and had to go to hospital. The indian said it was… Read more
worse so it would cost more so my daughter paid him up front and then left him to it. According to the neighbours he wasn't there long. When my daughter got back he was gone and left the door wide open. I got home and straight away I was not impressed with the job he had done. It didn't smell like a cleaned carpet usually does. I then vacuum the carpet to find a fair amount of dirt, dust and had a smell about it, didn't look like it at been cleaned properly. I rang the company 3 times and was told they would ring me back, they didn't. In the end I demanded they ring so the Indian did ring and all he did was speak to me very rudely and couldn't care. Do yourself a massive favour and DO NOT USE MELBOURNE CARPET CLEANERS, THEY ARE A NIGHTMARE AND YOU WILL BE SORRY. YOU ONLY HAVE TO READ ALL THE BAD REVIEWS ABOUT THEM. To add to this they were paid in cash, when they quoted they said $140 for 3 small rooms, the person doing the job said no it's $175 now. You work it out.

Scam! Be warned! Do not use! Melbourne Steam Cleaners phoned - I was quoted $100 on phone after providing mat measurements and was told I would get a call 30 mins prior to arrival - I didn’t. Two workers said they were “contractors” - they said it would be $120 a mat. Then small ones were quoted as $20 but later invoiced for $30 each! Email… Read more
invoice came from One Top Maintenance and there was no how to pay details on invoice. I thought this was weird so requested ABN - this was given as ABN 71673441828. I was told to use PayID but I said no. I was then told to pay to a personal account [Name Removed]. The amount paid was not what was quoted on phone or on first arrival. Absolute rip off! Not to mention there was still a stain that we later got out ourselves after spending close to $400! Could have just bought new mats! Absolute rip off! Paid the invoice, they left. Later contacted via email. [Name Removed] from Top One Maintenance called close to midnight and the text messages as per photo. He was given a chance to rectify wrong doings but did not! Absolute scam! They get their money by entering the home, wetting the carpet/mats and waiting intimately until you pay the upscaled price. Prices shouldn’t have increased from what was said on phone or on site initially. I still had the stain shown when they left! 0457 592 442 / [Name Removed] Top One Maintenance 0489 303 099 / Melbourne Steam Clean

Ruined my carpet after using a brand new blue towel under their leaking machine left dye soaked into my wool carpet. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY
WORST ATTITUDE. WORSE SERVICE – WORST DECISION EVER WORST ATTITUDE.The cleaner was 4 hours late, and had the audacity to walk in casually. Was quoted for bathroom cleaning and bedroom carpet- he made it seem like it was below him to clean bathrooms. Worst attitude- and spent just 30 minutes in carpet cleaning. Waste of money. When I called to let them know what had happened-… Read more
[Name Removed], [Name Removed] and [Name Removed] all scammers- pointed fingers at the some contractor that did not exist.This was reverse racism if I had seen one. Save yourselves before wasting your money on them.
BAD EXPERIENCE – I called this company out on a Sunday after our elderly dog urinated on the carpet and left a huge stain. The guy came out to clean it and said he had done the best he could, particularly as it was wool carpet, this could not be further from the truth. The stain was still there ... no different. I then had someone else come out with an… Read more
everyday Bissell machine and worked their magic and fortunately for me, the stain came out. I would have thought a professional company would know what they are doing!! The photo below shows the urine stain after it had been cleaned by Melbourne Carpet Cleaning and the second photo shows after it had been cleaned by a Bissell machine.
Hidden costs – Rude and unprofessional while speaking to me. Inquiring about $25 per seat upholstery cleaning advertised on website/online, for a 1x 2 seater couch and a 3mx2m rug. (Didn’t get to a quote for the rug) Quote $75 and can I book you in today. I mentioned about the the $25 per seat? No $75 if 1 couch or 4 couches because of call fee. Then it's $25… Read more
per seat, is what i think she said very quickly. $75 should be the 1st price noted on advertisement then $25 per seat. I didn't book with them. Others companies have better prices with no hidden cost. With better communication skills
Positive reviews
Quick and efficient – Very fast and efficient easy to work with, suny came in and did my 3 rooms, was quite professional and did a great job on all the room for me.
Great and quick service. Highly recommended – Help desk is very helpful and nice. Prompt service. Sunny, the technician was great. He did a good job with my curtain. Reasonable price as well. Highly recommended from me.
Richmond carpet clean excellent! – We had our pet stained carpet cleaned by Pranav and did an excellent job removing all stains and leaving the carpet looking brand new. We will definitely use you again. Jan
Negative reviews
Do not use this company. Requested a carpet clean ahead of my end of lease. Appointment was for 1pm and he requested to come 2 hours early which wasn't inconvenient but it was unprofessional. I could barely understand the guy who came, and kept asking me random questions. He steamed the carpet but didn't vacuum before starting. I had some pet hair… Read more
throughout the apartment so this was just dragged around instead of being removed. I asked him why the hair was still there and he said once it dries, just vacuum it yourself. I thought I was paying them to do that? He added a fee because we didn't have a lift and required him to carry the machine upstairs. He charged another $15 for this, buddy, it was one flight of stairs and most importantly was not pre-discussed in the quote. Lastly he left the carpet sopping wet and offered to mop up a puddle the machine caused. However, he just moved the water around, and I spent an additional 1.5hours myself mopping this puddle as well as removing hair and debris he left. They are so lazy and incompetent. Super regret not reading the reviews here and hiring them at all.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Scammed and changed price significantly. They should be taken to ACCC for false advertising Edit: they removed my Google Review and I'm sure remove many others
DANGEROUS If you’re a female on your own. Employee came hour late at 6:30pm, changed the price 3 times so I stated I no longer wanted the service. Nothing had been done at this point. He demanded a $49.95 cancellation fee and wouldn’t leave my doorway. I tried closing my door but he stayed inside trying to demand money. I threatened to call police… Read more
and he still didn’t leave. Recovering from shoulder surgery and had to slam my body against door to close. He still rang and threatened me.

I am absolutely appalled at the service I was given by this company. Firstly, I was charged $100 for the guy just to mop the hardwood floors which was such a small area. He used an old dirty mop and god knows how old the cleaning product he used was. Then after reviewing the items he steam cleaned he didn’t go into the crevices of the bedheads nor… Read more
the crevices of the couch. I emailed them to put in a complaint about what had transpired and all I got back was PLEASE GIVE US TIME TO LOOK INTO THIS. This went back and forth for a few weeks so I had no choice, but to file a complaint with VCAT. Lastly, when he was reviewing the items to quote me he came up with a few figures which I’m sure he just made up to see my reaction. When I said that’s too much as there were only a few items he came up with another amount and then another amount. It is disgusting how they just pluck these numbers out of nowhere with no company folder with actual prices. I have attached a photo of a mark that was on my bedhead which he said would be removed. As you can see it is still there. Do yourself a favour and do not use this company.
Dishonest. Lazy, no interest in cleaning, just scamming you into paying for their operation. The 75$ promo is a bait: the total escalates as soon as this 30 is crossed, why? are they paving it? by the time you setup you might charge 10$ for a bit extra . they know the smallest legal bedroom is 10m2 and with hallway and lounge you will be around… Read more
45m. They also measure generously. They expect you to give in because you want to finish. Don't. It will only get worse. Throw them out, pay a professional and you will pay less anyway.
I wish I had seen these reviews before I booked this company. They charged me $75 for two room carpet cleaning with an additional $15 fee for a stain. The cleaner was very unprofessional. First off, he was over 2 hours late and then he worked all of 1 minute on the coffee stain I had on my carpet with some no label spray--I had no clue what was in… Read more
it. When the stain didn't come out of course he had the audacity to tell me he couldn't get out the stain in my carpet because I had already used a carpet cleaning spray and those "set the stain". I told him that is not true and he proceeded to show me a picture of a couch he had cleaned with great results. When I said a carpet is different from a carpet he said it wasn't. After he left I went down to Woolies and bought a carpet cleaning foam by Vanish and worked it into the carpet and that actually lifted the stain more and almost looks gone. It just needs some industrial grade cleaning and it'll be gone. Don't bother with this company unless you want a basic steam clean. The website looks professional but the service is definitely 1 star.
Contacted these clowns for a quote based on their "3 rooms for $75" advertised special. Has a couple of minor stains so enquired about stain spot pre cleaning as ALL other companies include but was not mentioned. Not this place!! They wanted $10-15 per stain LOL. Told them i was no longer interested. Laughable company which is represented by all the 1 star reviews. Dont waste your time, go elsewhere.
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!! Waited over 3.0 hours for carpet cleaner who sent me numerous texts delaying the time. This company then GHOSTED ME when l attempted to contact them for an explanation. CANCELLED my appointment due to extended waiting time Very unprofessional!!!!
What was advertised and what was delivered were worlds apart. While the gentleman who came to clean the blinds did his best, the service fell far short of what I expected based on the claims made on their website. Despite repeated assurances that someone from management would contact me, no one ever followed up or addressed my concerns. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this company for any of the services they offer.
I booked Best Cleaning Services Melbourne, which is owned by Melbourne Carpet Cleaning (same ABN). The job was to clean the grout on my bathroom floor. The guy turned up with a bucket and a mop, 2 hours late, with no apology. Ten minutes later he claimed the job was done. It wasn’t! The grout looked the same as it did prior to the floor having a… Read more
good mop. He put no effort in and took no pride in his work. I have tried to deal directly with his company which has been a nightmare, as they take no responsibility for their staff. Lots of promises that they will fix my problem “by the end of the day” and I don’t hear from them. It’s been 2 weeks now. Avoid this unprofessional company at all costs.

Would give zero stars if I could. Booked this company to stretch and clean my carpet. Specifically requested help moving some of the large items of furniture and noted that I would pay extra for the service. They confirmed this was no problem. I called the night before they came, just to double-check all was correct with the booking and they… Read more
confirmed with me.
One guy arrived to do the job and flatly refused to do anything until the firniture was moved. I explained what I had requested and he shifted all the blame back to the office staff.
Rebooked for the following week and moved all the remaining furniture out. The guy did not show up. He claimed he hadn't received the booking. He whined about how unfair the situation was for him and said he would come late on a Saturday night. At this point, I cancelled and rebooked with Concept Carpets. Steve came THAT SAME DAY and did an excellent job! Dodged a bullet. DO NOT HIRE MELBOURNE CARPET CLEANING!
A V O I D ! – I made a booking to have carpet cleaned (end of lease) a few weeks ago but after reading these terrible reviews, I cancelled the next day. And yet, still they harrass me and even today msg'd m to say they will be arriving at the property shortly! Good luck with that - I have vacated a few days ago, lol.
Worst cleaning company – DO NOT USE: Clean was not completed at all. Took my money and refused to refund. Had to clean my property myself on the day my lease ended.
AVOID !!!! Deplorable customer service !!! – AVOID !!!! This company is truly awful . I had booked an end of lease clean . Upon meeting the technicians at my property I was charged more than quoted, which was my first disappointment . After a few hours I went back to inspect their work , and they had done NOTHING !!!!!! I was handing my keys back the next day , I was now in a panic as they… Read more
had taken my money but not provided me with a clean home. I called them and as well as sending them photos , they told me they’d come back later that evening at 5.30pm. 8pm they turned up and told me they would not be doing any more work as they already ‘did their best ‘ . I demanded a refund . I was flat out refused . I have called their head office and been hung up on several times . Not only am I now left short $330 I’m also left madly cleaning with a few hours before I hand keys back. Their worth ethic and standard of work is deplorable. They are absolute scum bags in my eyes who are quite happy to rip off and scam innocent people . Stay away and avoid at all cost !!!
I would suggest you avoid this company – I should have read the reviews first, which are almost all abysmal. I would like to give Melbourne Carpet Cleaning no stars, but it seems I have to give one. Under no circumstances can I recommend them. The cleaner left streaks of dirt on the carpet after supposedly cleaning it, assuring me these would disappear when the carpet was dry. They… Read more
didn't. The cleaner came again, and cleaned again, saying the same thing. But, again, the dirt streaks remained. Rather than risk further damage to my carpet, I had another company, recommend by the carpet supplier, come to repair the damage. This was done, and the extremely poor quality of the work done by Melbourne Carpet Cleaning was commented on. My request for a refund, given the fact that I had to pay another cleaning company to repair the damage that had been caused, was declined.
Do Not Use This Company – Worst Carpet Cleaning experience, Website looks professional with video reviews that are obviously fake or paid for after using this company. Called and asked for a quote for 5 rooms of carpet cleaning and was quoted $135. I said I would think about it and get back to them if I wanted to go ahead then the hard sell started (should have hanged up… Read more
straight away) I excepted their quote and waited for the day. On the day of the booking I get a text saying to expect the "technician" 30 minutes after the original booking, finally arrived 1 hour 20 minutes late. Honestly a homeless person would have had better personal hygiene, this guy stank. And then came the attempted upselling saying I "NEEDED" this and that and my quote went from $135 to $180 then $250. I settled on the $180 as I needed to get the carpets cleaned. No longer than 15-20 minutes later he says all done. I pointed to the obviously crap job of cleaning the carpet and that's when I was told that's the result without using their magic solution that costs and extra $100. I would have been better off going to Bunnings and hiring a carpet cleaner for $50 and doing it myself. He literally did not spray and cleaning solution on the carpets period. A company obviously run by scamming foreigners that have no shame or pride in their workmanship. Stay away and do it yourself or pay somebody else. Look at all the 1 star reviews.
Terrible Service, Rude Staff, Racist and Arrogant – Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning Service - Disappointing Experience I had an incredibly disappointing experience with this carpet and upholstery cleaning service. The owner, Sam, was rude and unprofessional right from the start. His behavior was not only dismissive but also downright racist. He had the audacity to make an offensive comment,… Read more
implying that my concerns were "typical cynical behavior by Indians." This is unacceptable and left me shocked.
As for the service itself, it was far below expectations. The cleaner, Smit, was arrogant and seemed completely uninterested in doing a thorough job. He made just one quick pass with the vacuum and called it a day. The upholstery was barely touched, and the carpet was left in a soiled state, looking almost as bad as before they started.
Overall, this was a terrible experience, and I would strongly advise others to avoid this service at all costs.
Also, just to fool around they are running the business with different names and website. Melbourne Carpet Cleaning: https://www.melbcarpetcleaning.com.au/ Best Cleaning Services Melbourne: https://bestcleaningservicesmelbourne.com.au/
AVOID AT ALL COSTS – BEWARE - SCAMMERS!! Was told service would take approx 45 mins. Paid for 3 rooms to be steam cleaned and deodorised, guy showed up half hour late, spent less than 20 minutes doing all 3 rooms, randomly sprayed chemicals throughout the room and left. When the carpet dried the following day it left a horrible smell!! Tried to resolve for 5 days,… Read more
gave opportunity to return to rectify and on the day and time he should have come he was running over half hour late again and we couldn’t continue to wait for him - so unprofessional! Have had to pay for alternative services to come and fix the smell that he left, service was to include steam cleaning and deodorising yet the carpet looks the same and now smells like it has never smelt before!! Have requested at least 50% refund to be fair, as 1 room didn’t have a smell but the other 2 do. Am now being completely ignored - they are not owning their terrible service for making my carpets worse than they were before their attended our property. Plenty of other local services around or hire your own steam cleaner, we are now double out of pocket due to them not providing paid for service correctly….
Bad service- stay away – STAY AWAY DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE Bad customer service - I rescheduled my appointment for a later time with the receptionist who provided me with a quote- price was confirmed. Whilst in the middle of my move to new house, the cleaner called me 2 hours prior to my appointment demanding I attend the previous rental within 30 minutes or he won't do… Read more
the job. He also accused me of lying about my appointment and argued with me about prices. He was yelling and screaming at me over the phone. Per his demand I attended the appointment earlier and when we met I told him he's provided poor customer service and should never yell at customers or accuse them of lying, he became angry and left the job. 2nd cleaner was arranged though I kept getting text messages requesting different appointment times. I paid $160 for them to steam clean 3 rooms, 15 stairs and hallway though from what I saw they only cleaned one bedroom and made it worse though. Prior to this the carpets were fine, no soiling. No stains- just had to be done for end of lease clean. They used a small machine like the one you can hire from Bunnings and left residual marks and stains on the carpets. They did not have the proper industrial truck mounted machines. The agent said she was taking $800 from my bond because of this. I had to do a 2nd steam clean to fix what they did inorder to get my bond back in full. They did not give me a refund- so rude please don't waste your money. Go with a franchise business, these guys are untrained, unqualified people who just have a decent website- don't be fooled! Stealing money from people for a poor service.
Not happy, unfortunately – I wanted 2 rooms and a small hallway steam cleaned. Was quoted one price over phone $69, technician told me it would cost me more ($50) for pre-vacuuming, $5 per stain and refused to help me move the mattress so he could vacuum where I had it standing up. Oh, and he was 1.5 hours late. The technician made me pay by credit card, saying there was no… Read more
other way to pay. I was not given a receipt then either, it was messaged to me later that night not properly filled out either. Then I wrote an email about my experience and the technician rang to confront me about it. I wrote the email so they can better their service and learn from the experience I had.
DO NOT USE – These guys charges $200 for a carpet steam clean. It wasn’t even done. Saw the receipt from landlord. On moving in I filled 6 x drums of dust with my Dyson, carpet was still sticky and smelly so hired a Bunnings steam cleaners, the colour of the water was disgusting, landlord said he let them in but they let themselves out and never checked afterwards. It was basically a walk in, wait till landlord left and walked out. Do not use
